On an non UK-Note there will also be 50th birtrhdays of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Notrway.
And King Charles will be 75 next year.
As for StateVisits i don't expcet manily State Visits to other monarcheis first but rather those countries with which the UK-Governemnt sees as important. So my guess is that it is more likely that it will be countries like the US, France etc. I also don't epect at State Visit to Germany soon as one of the last (if not the last) State Visit of Queen Elizabeth II. was to it.



As for this year i think the first big annual Event will be remembrance Sunday and i hope that there will again be a diiplomatic reception.

There was a time when the UK joined a World War because of Belgium, which was considered essential to UK security across the English channel. But, of course, the geopolitics of Europe have greatly changed since then. Still, Brussels is the capital of the European Union and the current president of the European Council is a former Belgian PM (the second former Belgian PM to occupy that office BTW since it was created). The European Parliament's Brexit coordinator during the Brexit negotiations was also a former Belgian PM.

If you ask me, I would say it is a big mistake for the UK to neglect Belgium. And King Philippe and his wife were always very kind to Queen Elizabeth II and members of her family. King Philippe by the way is King Charles III's fourth cousin (his father and his uncle were Queen Elizabeth II's third cousins).

So we're probably still going to have to wait a long time to see a state visit from Belgium to the UK. And also to see a King of Belgium join the Order of the Garter, something that hasn't happened since King Baudouin was invested in that order in 1963.

Grand Duke Henri also has yet to make a state visit to the UK and has not been invested in the Order of the Garter either.

Will the Emperor of Japan's state visit still take place?

When the king passes would he lie in state and get the same sort of coverage like the Queen has

Maybe on less scale, but I am sure he will.
